Description
Bama and Mafa are both local government areas and towns located in Borno State, in the northeastern region of Nigeria. Bama is situated in the central-eastern part of Borno State, right near the international border with Cameroon, while Mafa is situated in the northeastern part of Borno State, closer to the central/northern zones. This document comprises a topographic cartographic map produced by Federal Surveys Nigeria, designated as Sheet 91 S.E. (MAFA-BAMA S.E., Edition 1). Drawn at a standard scale of 1:50,000, the map delivers a systematic, detailed spatial representation of the geographic, physical, and human-made infrastructure across the Mafa-Bama region in northeastern Nigeria. The map incorporates standardized cartographic conventions, complete with a comprehensive legend that defines primary and secondary roads, tracks, settlement footprints, river systems, vegetation patterns, elevation contours, and administrative boundaries.
Technically grounded in air photography and field ground control surveys executed by national and international mapping agencies, the document features key reference tools including an index to adjoining sheets, a reliability diagram, boundary notes, magnetic declination data, and Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid references. This publication serves as an essential spatial resource for regional planning, infrastructure development, geographical research, and environmental surveying within the region.
